Going South... fast

Uhhh, Maryland is considered part of the south... But let's forget about that, I understand that Maryland is a better state, however, as much as virginia is ill-equipped to handle the snow, so is Maryland... more in relation to volume.  After the December snow, the money allotted for snow-removal was already used up in both states.  And the federal gov't closing, affects Maryland just as much as Virginia.  Just because individual counties handle their own respective snow removal services... that did not stop the maryland state gov't calling in snow removal crews from other states to help.  I'm just angry that this was even an option.  They pompously call themselves a commonwealth, and yet they don't exercise and tightly hold on to the sovereignty that is implied with the title. They should handle this crap themselves without looking to the federal gov't who they want to distance themselves from, so their name suggests. Maryland hasn't gotten on it's knees, so why is it that Virginia has to?  Or maybe, it's Obama who is on his knees....

As for Tiger, I think that people are blowing this all out of proportion.  Yes, his moral character is being called into question.  Yes, cheating on his wife, and the things that he did was immoral.  Yes, some could even categorize him as a horrible person (though i'm reluctant to do so solely on the grounds of charity and other things that he has done and accomplished not for selfish gain but for the unpriviledged.)  All those things being said... he is currently the best golfer and history may prove him to be the best golfer of all time.  And all current golfers should be thankful of his presence and influence on the game of golf.  Their salaries and prize money are as high as they are today as a result of him.  People watching golf and it becoming so mainstream is a result of his influence.  

So Ernie, don't be a whiney little bitch, and attacking Tiger's personal life and his character, because they have nothing to do with you, the sport you play, or your job.  Who cares if he's going to have a press statement during the time that you should be playing golf and wouldn't be watching it anyways, not like people are really watching you play Ernie.  And you want to talk about selfish?  Weren't you one of the ones that called for Tiger to address the public and to answer questions?  And now that he is, you complain it's not to your liking or your timetable?  Give me a freaking break.  I may not support what Tiger did, but I also don't support hypocritical people such as yourself.  Selfish?  I think you need to re-educate yourself as to what selfish means... or maybe they don't have such a good educational system in south africa.  But it's selfish for you to ask for something that you have no right asking for (a public statement from someone else regarding someone's personal life that does not involve you) and not wanting that person to take away from whatever little attention that you get when he actually does give you what you have so expressively been asking for and then calling him selfish even though he actually gave you what you asked for.  

To leave on a lighter note... this was a funny quote that I only 1/2 agree with...

"Tiger and Obama... a couple of arrogant black jerks on a grand scale.

Way to NOT do your race a service... You two have set blacks back 25 years!"
